Friends,
I have been a long-time supporter of PPRM and now, more than
ever, it needs our support. Each year
nearly 100,000 individuals visit PPRM's 24 health centers throughout a four
state region - Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Wyoming. I believe deeply in PPRM’s mission and hope
you will join me in supporting it. I
will match the first $5,000 of donations.
Here are some of PPRM’s initiatives:
1.
So far in 2018, 26% of PPRM’s patients live at
or below the poverty level and 47% do not have health insurance.
2.
In addition to providing rapid-result HIV tests,
PPRM now offers PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) at all its health centers. When
used daily, PrEP reduces the risk of contracting HIV by over 90%!
3.
During the first half of fiscal year 2018, PPRM
placed 2,570 Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC) and distributed
68,105 other forms of birth control.
4.
Providing confidential answers to questions
about sexual health via text through the “In Case You’re Curious” or ICYC
program. Users just text their questions
to 66746 and will receive a response within 24-hours.
5.
Working with Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado
to help pass proactive legislation to enable women to access 12 months of birth
control at a time. Thus, empowering
women across Colorado to have better control over their reproductive health and
their futures.
Thank you for your consideration.
